It was a movie starring Jack Webb as a Marine D.I. and a recruit who has a hard time adjusting to military life (considering he was a "flower child"). I think the recruit was Jan Micheal Vincent. I'm trying to remember the movie title. The Green Berets was really a propoganda movie to help the war effort. I still liked it!
I think the movie was called "Tribes"
